PROJECT
BACKGROUND
BACKGROUND
A medical company sought to develop a new biochemistry analyzer product. Development was stalled due to the complex structure of a component and the small quality required.Then they found RPWORLD to help them get out of the dilemma.
CHALLENGES
★ Structure too complex for injection molding or CNC milling
★ Production quantity is very low(50 to 500 sets per year)
★ Production quantity is very low(50 to 500 sets per year)
RPWORLD SOLUTIONS
Processes Chosen
• After meticulous analysis and discussion, we chose SRM(Silicon rubber molding)/vacuum casting/urethane casting.
Material Selection
• To meet cosmetic and performance requirements, ABS performance polyurethane resin was selected. It provided competent mechanical properties, including impact resistance.
Production Schedule
| • Rapid prototyping and testing | 4 days |
| • Silicon rubber molding and testing | 4 days |
| • 50 units manufacturing by vacuum casting | 6 days |
| • After-treatment was done by our experienced technicians | 2 days |
| • Total | 16 days |
CUSTOMER BENEFITS
√ Lead time was decreased by 50%
√ Production cost was only 20%～30% of traditional tooling solution
√ All production, after-treatment and pre-assembly was completed by one single supplier---RPWORLD, which greatly reduced the project’s technical risks.
